How to build .exe

1. Install the requirements as stated in requirements.txt.

2. Use PyInstaller with the command in PyInstaller_One_Folder.bat where ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_YOUR_END_RESULT_FOLDER is the absolute path to your folder where the end result will show up.

3. Run the resulting .exe once and edit the settings.json before proceeding.

   • remote_dir is the remote directory of the Minecraft server
   • world_name is the name of the world folders, for example putting in test world would be used as test world, test world_nether and test world_the_end
   • server_jar_compiler_command is the cmd command for generating the server jar
   • server_jar_dir is the directory where the server jar is stored after compiling
   • server_jar is the name of the server jar after compiling without the file extension
   • _target_host is the SSH address of the minecraft server
   • _proxy_host is the proxy address for the SSH server if used, leave empty if not
   • _proxy_port same as _proxy_host but the port
   • _client_cert and _client_key if the proxy uses certificates, put the file locations here.
   • _known_hosts is the known_hosts file generated by SSH containing the key
   • _private_key is the file location of the private SSH key

4. You should now be able to start it up and use it.
